I was in the faculty room at my first job- teaching History at Cherry Hill East HS. In NJ The year was 1972. An elderly colleague would finish her lunch everyday and then carefully fold a brown sandwich bag and place it in her handbag. Curious, I asked how often she used the same sandwich bag. She responded “I use one for each school year”.
The shortages of her youth were very much remembered.
